Mosquito TA669:(Aramament Practice Stn) Took off at 09:30 hrs for trainig flight. 20/11/1956
Undercarriage jammed up; crashlanded Schleswigland.
On the way back Frank had to do an asymmetric check (cutting one engine). Nearing home Frank tried to un-feather the engine but was unsuccessful so he decided to do a one-engined landing.
Dropping his undercarriage we came in for the final approach, but when we were were 800' high our undercarriage was not locked down so he told the Control Officer over the intercom that he was overshooting. Selecting undercarriage and flaps "UP" and opening the throttle we did a left bank. The next moment Frank says, "My God, the wingtip's touching", and the next instant seemed to be like a kaleidoscope.

F/O (????) Frank JONES (pilot) RAF - ok
